Personally, I wouldn't pay $12/lb!
Where is the LR from?

I agree with you in upgrading your lights instead of buying LR for the amount you would have to spend.

lcstorc · 09-01-2006, 09:20 PM

That is a crazy price IMHO. Maybe I would buy one medium size rock and hope things move from it to the others in the tank. It very well may. I have been told sponges cannot stand the air even for a brief time so if I was told correctly those are not likely to live.
Another thing i can't help thinking is if it is that heavy how porus(sp) is it? Generally you want rock with lots of air space for the bacteria grow. I would think that rock would be lighter.
Not totally sure on that, but bottom line, at most, I would buy one rock at that price, and I would probably not even do that.

yea this particular rock that i was checking out(ONE ROCK MIND YOU) was 85 dollars alone...now thats a really nice coral..or two even.

Yippie! Glad he is eating and everyone seems to be getting along.
I always worry at this point when adding new livestock, but sounds like this one is doing good for you.

Gina · 09-13-2006, 07:32 AM

just FYI my gorgonia has officially died it wasnt doing too well and slowly deteriorated
i had to take em' out when the branches started to fall off ...

oh well what a pretty piece when i had it though...

i have replaced the gorg with a nice frag of a colt coral, two frags actually ..you can see them on the bottom left in the full tank shot above growing pretty nicely...thanks everyone!!!

lcstorc · 10-14-2006, 11:05 AM
